Hi everybody,
Im getting my mac faster with an SSD, the Kingston HyperX 3K 240Gb.
I have the MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012, and i want some help.
I will remove the Superdrive and put the old Hard drive, but im having so much trouble finding this https://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/9-5-mm-SATA-Optical-Bay-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/IF107-080-1, so i was wondering if i can stick the hard drive with something like this,
ZL1YcwSZrOtTuYjs.huge

The SSD provides me this blue piece :
HyperX-3K-10.jpg

There is no way i can find the hard drive kit to put it.... so please if there is a way to hack help me.
Sorry for my bad english..
 
I wouldn't recommend it. There are various cheap options on eBay that will achieve what the optibay does.

Sticky pads lose adheasion when heat is applied.

Can i attach it with the blue thing ?
 
Wouldn't advise anyone use any method other than an optibay or similar
 
So you are telling me that there is no way to do it without the kit right ? :( :(
As Gav said, just go for an optibay kit, they're fairly cheap and are a hell of a lot better than foam tape. The cMBP gets pretty warm inside and I bet you that tape would fail within a few weeks if not days.
